The Emperor embodies everything one expects from an unyielding ruler: harshness, coldness, sharp edges. The ram reflects the associated zodiac sign, and the rugged edges and mountains in the background stand in clear contrast to the soft, gentle forms of the Empress. In most interpretations of this card, he is depicted as an old man with a long beard. I decided to make him younger, as the world repeatedly shows us that old men may not always be the best rulers.
The card itself represents discipline and structure. If it is right side up, it can be a sign that you can achieve your goals with the right strategy and discipline. Or it could mean that a task awaits you that requires your guiding hand.
Conversely, the card warns you about others or yourself. It can be an indication that a person in a position of power is harming you. Or it could mean that your own systems and rules are no longer helping you, and you need to find new ways.
